For some reason the pictures remind me of a ceramic flower bowl or pot.
I don't have a citation, but I think I remember seeing something like
this at a plant nursery.

Subject: a ceramic question


We have 4 ceramic sherds from sites in Southern Arkansas along the Red
River.
Would anyone happen to know what these may be?
The molded floral border is on white paste earthenware that is slightly
thicker than pearlware and with a grittier paste.
None of us have seen a molded or embossed border highlighted with glaze
before, so any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your help!
